    Cannot get Rad Rover 5 into P and C programming mode

    Its listed as the SW-U-II LCD Personalized parameter settings, hopefully Rad didn't lock it with a password.

    Cannot get Rad Rover 5 into P and C programming mode

    I think that's a King Meter Display not a KT. They look similar and some of the instructions are identical.

    Why electric motorcycles are failing

    A lot of ex motorcyclists are taking up ebikes. The “tech” is comparable , IIRC hydraulic disc brakes showed up on motorcycles first. I rode bikes and motorcycles in my youth moved to to e-bikes in my 60s. My Biktrix reminds me of my OSSA When I did trials.

    Considering getting an ebike. How do I set my expectations?

    I had a Rad Rover for about a year, great bike did the Bolton Upgrade(s) to 1500W. Sold it when used bike re-sale prices were high at the end of 2020. That bike was really fast, great for keeping up with traffic. I have a Biktrix (Saskatoon Canada) Juggernaut Mid-Drive Ultra which has cadence...

    Replacement derailleur/shifter for 2018 RadCity ST

    Let us know how it goes, I sold my Rad and now have a mid-drive bike , you tend to shift gears more often so this could be a nice upgrade. Not sure if there is a gear shift interlock.

    What To Look Out For In Buying A Pre-owned Stunner X

    Brake pads are probably due to be replaced, but that’s an easy cheap job. Tires are getting close to life by mileage, but it depends on how the bike was ridden.Check cassette for chipped teeth. The biggest liability is the battery, 1500 miles is fine. The bike was ridden which is good, bikes...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    This! The instantaneous displayed voltage drops 5 volts in PAS 5 or full throttle. Trips BMS cutout. Common issue with high power e-bikes when the battery is somewhat depleted. One of the advantages of the LCD-8 over the stock unit is the voltage display.

    Any advice before installing the Kunteng Display and Controller upgrade ?

    Manual attached, L1 sets how the BMS measures the voltage. 0 is default automatic. Use the C12 setting to actually set the cut-off

    Any advice before installing the Kunteng Display and Controller upgrade ?

    The plastic PAS magnet ring on the inside of the crank/chainring is very flimsy and easy to break. It can stop rotating and providing a signal when you pedal. After a few years the plastic becomes brittle. Amazon sells an inexpensive two piece version that does not require crank removal.

    Any advice before installing the Kunteng Display and Controller upgrade ?

    Apologies, my current bike is not a Rad, I sold my Bolton modified Rad Rover in January. Resale prices were good. The color LCD-8 is much easier to work with than the stock Rad display. Especially when you tinker with the settings. The color display displays voltage, much more useful than...

    Any advice before installing the Kunteng Display and Controller upgrade ?

    Regen has limited value, you can effectively disable it it on the KT. My current bike has a Bafang display with dual modes , eco and sport be nice if Rad/ KT offered that as option to turn regen off. I live in PNW, it rains quite a lot never had a problem with the new controller . I always...

    Any advice before installing the Kunteng Display and Controller upgrade ?

    I sold my friends ex-city and my (ex-rover) own old controller/ lcd on eBay. These were both circa 2019 Rad they didn’t have the max speed hard lockout that the newer bikes have. Over $100 + shipping each set, that blew me away 😉

    Any advice before installing the Kunteng Display and Controller upgrade ?

    This mod has been around for a while. My friend modded his city about a year ago. It’s fairly straight-forward plug and play. The controller is larger, tight fit on the city step-thru be interested if you have a more elegant mount than zip ties. A list of the final settings might be useful...

    Looking for a little advise.

    Is there a person at the entry gate checking this? Never seen anyone checking e-bikes here in WA. Just put a class 1 sticker on it and stay within the speed limit.

    LIve from New York

    There are buildings called parking garages. Quite a few in NY. With the reflections it’s difficult to figure out whether it is inside or not.
